Frooty Pebbles Strain: The Fruity Pebbles OG Hybrid

Frooty Pebbles is a spelling variant of Fruity Pebbles OG, the strain that databases now list as FPOG. Leafly gives Fruity Pebbles, Fruity Pebbles OG and Fruity OG as other names and calls it a hybrid bred by Alien Genetics. Weedmaps says the California-based breeder released it in 2006, and AllBud says it first caught on in Southern California that year. AllBud labels it an indica-dominant hybrid, 55% indica, while Leafly and Weedmaps simply call it a hybrid.

The parentage is described in 2 ways that fit together. Leafly names Green Ribbon, Granddaddy Purple and Tahoe Alien, and Weedmaps explains that a Granddaddy Purple and Green Ribbon hybrid was pollinated by Tahoe Alien, itself a cross of Tahoe OG and Alien Kush; AllBud simply lists all 4 strains. Alien Genetics meant FPOG as a limited release, but Weedmaps says it proved so popular that other growers started producing their own plants, and Leafly notes that newer versions may now exist.

AllBud describes light, minty-green buds under a blanket of resin, with hairs in reds, purples, yellows and oranges. Weedmaps calls the buds conical and densely packed, with contrasting purple, red and green colouring from high levels of anthocyanins.

The name comes from the flavour. Leafly describes a tropical, berry taste reminiscent of the cereal, and its reviewers most often pick tropical, tree fruit and berry. AllBud calls the taste sweet tropical berry and adds citrus, and Weedmaps users report berry, sweet and citrus most often. Leafly's lab data lists myrcene as the main terpene, followed by limonene and pinene.

Leafly calls FPOG's effects mostly energizing. Its reviewers most often report feeling giggly, happy and euphoric, and the most common negatives they list are dry mouth, dry eyes and dizziness. AllBud's description is heavier: a strong, spacey body buzz that can settle into a mild couch-lock while users stay functional.

Reports differ from batch to batch and person to person, so start with a small amount. Health Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise not driving for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.

Sources disagree. AllBud lists 18% to 21% THC and Leafly gives a figure of 19%, which it rates above average, while Weedmaps reports a lower range of 9% to 18.7%. With many growers now producing their own version, the label on the batch you buy is the number that counts.

Its closest relatives are its parents: Granddaddy Purple, a purple indica, and Green Ribbon. Weedmaps also lists Big Bud and Green Crack among strains similar to FPOG, and Leafly names Sundae Driver and Krypto Chronic among its offspring.
